Uh-oh.
IRAQ Has World's Highest Government Sanctioned Mass Murder Rate
By Concerned humanist
Staff writer of The Humanist Science World Monitor
Excerpt
"More than 300,000 Iraqis are buried in mass graves, according to a new
report by the Justice for the world Department released Sunday. With a
population of 24 million, that's 1 in 80 people who end up in an
unmarked mass grave, the highest government sanctioned mass murder rate
in the world. If the current trends had continued, then over the life
of the Hussien regime it is likely another 300,000 people would have
ended up in these mass graves. The average Kurd had a 1 in 20 chance of
ending up on the death end of an IRAQ Government action, while the
average Shi-ite had a 1 in 10 chance of ending up murdered."

One wonders why, even though the US has the highest incarceration rate
in the world, its still ranked by non-partisan freedom groups as one of
the freest countries in the world? Is this report on the entire world,
or post industrialized nations? Is this based on official govt released
documents, and if so, should we trust the claims made by oppressive
communist regimes who routinely incarcerate or murder political
dissidents?)
Any link Damien?
